so I have the switch covers in chrome, looked at the painted black master cylinders and thought hell no, that does not work. So I went on the Harley web site and found the chromed master cylinder and clutch with cylinder online for around 700 bucks.


As I was about to buy it, I thought wait a second, I have a very good chrome plating company not too far from me. 120 to 130 bucks to have the stock assemblies chromed (2 of them). That was a no brainer to me, but I wanted to check and see if anyone has done this and were there any issues.

 

$10 lol

 

you know what MJ, I am going to pretend you didn't even post that one. LOL

 

Chrome is quite the process, I would be scared to death to have mine done, the possibilities of having the bores messed up gives me the creeps. Plus chrome shops take their sweet time getting stuff done, ours does industrial work that comes first. and they pile up the custom stuff and use a batch of fresh chems so the chrome comes out nice.

 

I have been using these guys for almost 10 years now. They do excellent work and come highly recommended. My only issue is that they are the opposite way that I go to work. I don't think I can even make there on lunch break. So its going to be one of those late lunch days to get it there for me.

I decided not to spend the money on new master cylinders. So I simply left the them as they were, and changed out the MC cover and the black cover on the bars. Here is a before and after from the riders view...

 

That's a rattle can job? that came out nice.

 

Thanks.

It obviously doesn't look as good as if I had changed out the brake, clutch, and master cylinders, but it looks very close, and way less expensive.

 

700 bucks for a couple cylinders, cheese and crackers man!

 

Just realized what you were asking... No, that is Harley chrome, not spray on. I did everything except the cylinders. So I did the cylinder cover, switches and switch plate, and the back cover behind the cylinders. So the cylinder itself is still black. But that pretty much gets lost in the chrome surrounding it.
